LSU moves up to 6th in the nation with big win over Auburn

Even though LSU was 2-0 before its game with Auburn, already with a top 10 win under it’s belt against Miami, and a shutout against Southeast LA., there were still a lot of questions before their matchup against Auburn and plenty still left to prove, especially being 10 point underdogs this week. How would newly minted starting QB Joe Burrow do in his first SEC game, and on the road? Will LSU’s latest shuffling of the OL be the answer and be able to stop Auburn’s vaunted front 7? Can the
LSU Tigers suffer big loss in win vs. Miami Hurricanes

If you're a fan of the LSU Fighting Tigers then you probably know they put a whipping on the Miami Hurricanes. The Tigers looked good offensively and defensively but it came at a cost. LSU’s season opening victory against Miami could not have gone any better. As 3.5 point underdogs, the Tigers’ new look oﬀense moved the ball well against Miami’s much-hyped defense behind the highly touted and suddenly quirky Joe Burrow; they had a 2 touchdown, 100+ yard rusher from unproven yet patient RB,
LSU Tigers vs. Miami Hurricanes: Post Game Breakdown

The LSU Fighting Tigers entered Sunday’s matchup with the Miami Hurricanes as huge underdogs. This was the year The U was back, ranked 8th in the nation, on par with Clemson, and College Football Playoff contenders. The Tigers on the other hand were hardly in the Top 25, had several preseason suspensions, a new offensive coordinator, a head coach on the hot seat, and an unproven quarterback at the helm. But that is the beauty of college football, it is 11 vs 11, no team is ever really out of

New Orleans Saints vs. Washington Redskins: Matchups & Players to Watch

The New Orleans Saints hoped they could get through the first four games of the season with a good enough record they still had a good chance at reaching the post season once Mark Ingram returned. After four weeks of play the team has a 3-1 record, Mission accomplished! You can say it's because the Saints played against the Giants struggling offense but it was the first game the defense as a whole had a solid performance. PJ Williams saw the field again but this time it was in the slot and he

After an Offseason of Praise, Saints Secondary Near Bottom of League Once Again

The 2017 NFL season gave The New Orleans Saints fan base much to look forward to heading into the 2018 season. On offense, the team resigned Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, whose play has launched himself into the discussion as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara. Saints fans already knew the offense was going to be great, and bringing back these players certainly solidifies that statement, but one of the biggest talking points going into

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees sets the NFL all-time completion record

Drew Brees adds another notch to his future Hall of Fame belt, leading the Saints to a road win over the Atlanta Falcons while passing Brett Farve for NFL all-time completions record. What if I told you that Drew Brees just set an NFL record while leading his team to victory? Nothing new, right? In all likelihood, if you follow football you’re probably thinking, “Which record did he break THIS time?” If so, then you’re quite aware of how many records he already has, and possibly knew he could

New Orleans Saints Q&A with Saints sideline reporter and WWL radio host Steve Geller

The New Orleans Saints got off to their usual slow start in week 1 but were able to make some adjustments and for the first time since 2013 they avoided an 0-2 start to the season. Even pulling off a win there are still plenty of questions regarding the teams performance through two weeks. I decided to contact Saints sideline reporter and Morning Sports Anchor Steve Geller of WWL 870/105.3FM radio. to help answer some of those questions. Myself and the writers here at New Orleans Saints
